Here is a novel idea, if you don’t want an agent don’t hire one !

Bozo’s like you are the type who would hire your lawyer from Walmart and then complain because your company went bankrupt.

Why don’t the NBA players give hockey players a call and see how it worked out for them in 2004-05? Not only did they lose an entire year’s salary but they pretty much lost on every issue when they finally did settle.

They are biased and unaware of the current financial realities the league is facing, funny during the NFL lockout you didn’t hear anything from those agents (granted that may have been due to decertification)

The agents should know the players can give in (and this usually happens during a negotiation) and have a season or the players listen and the season is lost and then who loses, everyone.

It would also be nice for some players to come out against what the agents advised to show the fans you have a brain and a backbone and can be reasonable.
